(b) Read this extract. One class of sufferers in the mine moved my companion more than any other, a number of children who attend at the doors to open them when the horses pass through, and who in this duty are compelled to linger through their lives, in silence, solitude, and darkness, for sixpence a day. When I first came to one of these doors, I saw it open without perceiving by what means, till, looking behind it, I beheld2 a miserable little wretch standing without a light, silent and motionless, and resembling in the abjectness3 of its condition some reptile peculiar to the place, rather than a human creature. From the extract, identify two ways the writer shows how horrible it was for the children in the mine.
